Eye Exams for Children
Specialized pediatric eye care to ensure your child's vision develops properly
Children's eye examinations are essential for ensuring healthy vision development from infancy through school age. While pediatricians provide basic annual vision screenings during physicals, these cannot replace a comprehensive exam by an optometrist. Our exams assess visual acuity, eye alignment, teaming, focusing ability, eye health, and more.
Our experienced optometrists specialize in making children feel at ease during their visit. We also offer a wide selection of colorful and stylish eyewear that brings smiles to their faces.
